If you received week two of my 12 Weeks of Christmas ...this card is very similar. I had a hard time deciding which I liked best!! So, I'm going to share the other two on my blog.
I love the Christmas Collage background stamp!!! But ...if you decide to order it...you might want to also order Bells & Boughs stamp set on page 19 of the Holiday Mini Catalog. That way you could use the "Merry Christmas" greeting that matches this stamp. I thought using the Curly Cute stamp set was a good choice....but...if I had the Bells & Boughs I would have used it! (Ordered it yesterday.)
In person this card is really beautiful!! I wish I could make it shine on my blog the way it does in person....the Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint mixed with rubbing alcohol adds the perfect touch to this card.
I really think this will be my card this year...still not sure which one I'll make..... but I ordered more Crumb Cake card stock & Crochet Trim yesterday.

Angie,
When you tape the video on this card, will you show how to use the brayer to ink it? I never have good luck with the bigger stamps and I'm not sure if I just don't know how to use the brayer or if it's something else. Thanks, looking forward to ustream. It's my hour of the week where I am off limits!

Gorgeous! I made four of them just like except I had to use different color inks as I don't have the Early Espresso ink yet. Love how they turned out! Thanks for sharing. When I post them on my blog I'll point it back to this post so they can see the 'real deal'. Thanks for sharing!

A lovely card! I love vintage, distress and grunge and this hits on all of those! I am seeing that background stamp in a whole new light! :)
